This field is embarrassing. Width, visual, turf, etc.

I may have shared this earlier, but word is the turf field was picked in part because of the USWNT charges of sexism.

It took ten minutes before the camera realized we need to see more than 50 square feet of the pitch.

That miss by 10 for Jamaica looked like Jozy, Sunderland circa 2014

 

[Henry Chinaski]

I mean it looks like a bad high school field. Is this shit for real?

 

[siff]

Love me some Benny

 

[Fayettenam]

That was dirrrrty.

"Arena also said that Geoff Cameron is "great kid", adds he has zero issue with his players having different political opinions. #usmnt"

The goal for Cameroon to win the Africa Cup of Nations was spectacular - what a great way to seal a title. Tremendous skill to scorpion it over his head and then to finish with 3 defenders around him. Ridiculous.

It will be a magical day in the future for Matip when his grand kids ask him, "Pop-Pop, how did it feel when Cameroon won AFCON?"
And he will have to reply, "I wouldn't know as I was losing to Hull that day."

Seriously has to be one of the best ever goals to win a major final

 

[siff]

probs a handball in there tho, no?

Sure looked like it in that clip

 

[wsc8521s]

Yeah, was wondering that myself. All I've seen is that clip but I heard other angles made it look more like it was off his chest

The cheapest tickets for the Honduras Hex game in San Jose are $86. That's pretty absurd. I went to the Honduras Hex game last cycle and I think the face value was like $25.

Nice. Can't really remember red being a main color of a US national team. We need 3 jerseys, and only 3. Main color red, main color blue, main color white. I'd ideally like the same jersey just the colors changed around.

I've read a lot of complaints about the crest being all red. I don't care. Pretty sharp IMO
